CODING USED FOR NATIONAL COMPETENCY STANDARDS
The coding of the national competency standards forms the basis of the
identification code for the Vocational Education and Training Management
Information System (VET – MIS) both in terms of economic sector
identification and that of the individual standard.
Coding the individual units of competency standard is to identify the level in
qualification packages to which it belongs.
The ILO assigns the code 7231 to the occupation of Auto mechanic and
related trades. Therefore, in the Bhutan context, the occupation Auto
Mechanic has been assigned the code 7231 in the National Coding System.
The first unit is assigned the code U1, the first Unit of Competency Standard
clustered into the first qualification is designated the code 7231-U1. Levels are
assigned the code L and follow a logical progression from the National
Certificate Level 1 (NC I) to the National Certificate Level 3 (NC III). Therefore
the National Certificate Level 1 is assigned the code L1. The complete unit
code will be 7231-U1-L1.
